The Children of Modernity

Rossie Heath was monochromatically colour blind from birth. On 14th June 1972 a miracle occurred. She dived into a lake and emerged from the crystal waters into a new world of colour. She was healed and The Children of Modernity was born.

This piece is set in the early 1970s on a commune called The Children of Modernity. Rossie
has gone missing. Through a series of interactions and explorations, we invite
our audiences to find out what happened to her.

Up to
eight audience members at a time sit inside a bell tent where they uncover and experience the story via
various means including voice over; video projection; a binaural (3d) audio
recording; musical soundtrack; and
a series of clues. The clues encourage exploration of the tent, where the
audience find a key, a tape and a letter that lead them from one element of the
story to the next.
